two other manually-edited configuration files, which control
client authentication (their use is discussed in <A
HREF="client-authentication.html"
>Chapter 19</A
>). By default, all three
configuration files are stored in the database cluster's data
directory. The parameters described in this section allow the
configuration files to be placed elsewhere. (Doing so can ease
administration. In particular it is often easier to ensure that
the configuration files are properly backed-up when they are
kept separate.)
